Beat the cold calling blues: Successful Social Media For Print Sales People

Are you frustrated that your social media efforts aren’t getting you the sales that you’d hoped for?

Social media is the route to sales success. That’s what everyone is telling you these days.

Is this how you feel when you approach social media?

The trouble is, it’s really hard to get the results that people promise. Now that everyone has jumped on the bandwagon, it’s hard to stand out in the social media landscape. Social media takes up valuable sales time. Many of us become disheartened by the lack of results and simply give up.

Imagine if you had prospects happy to talk to you, ready to buy

This week I spoke to numerous new contacts. Everyone was happy to talk to me. Nearly everyone was interested in doing business with me. I’ve already booked plenty of work from these calls.

From what I hear, many people aren’t getting the same results when they pick up the phone. Here’s what made my success rate possible: every single prospect that I honed this week was a contact that I’d made on social media. I wasn’t cold calling: I was warm calling.

Getting found

The best contacts are people who find you and want to connect with you. But how do you get found? There are tens of thousands of professionals from the printing industry on LinkedIn alone. You will learn the most important strategies that you must put into action so that your potential customers will find you in today’s crowded social media landscape.

Finding prospects and connecting with them

How do you turn LinkedIn Connections Into Business?

It’s easy to take a lot of time to look for new connections and still miss some of the best prospects. I share three key strategies that you should be using.

I also see most people missing the chance to connect in a worthwhile way to improves your chances of making the sale. We’ll discuss the right way to connect with prospects.

How to convert social media connections into sales

There’s no point in spending lots of time making lots of connection if you don’t turn them into sales. One of the problems is that prospects may not be ready to buy when you connect with them. You will learn how to stay engaged with prospects while not spending all your time on social media. You’ll also learn how to take you connections offline and into the sales cycle.
